I agree with you, but I do not believe that we can keep all of our current 3 CBs and MDL for one season let alone two.
Would you rather keep Pique for two seasons or Umtiti for 7 seasons?
While I understand that both CL and Umtiti play on the left side, I still believe that both could also play just as well on the right side.

Ah okay, thats how you ment it.
Well, we really don't know that much about Umtitis injury, and my bet neither does club nor player. Umtiti will be fine staying, i now i would, thats the best for his knee anyway. Lenglet will certainly also want to stay with Umtitis situation. Pique is Pique, he will go when his contract runs out. He needs to play as long as he shows same motivation he has done this year. Then we have de Ligt, who apparently is ready to play second fiddle to Pique (media talk).
So if umtiti is fit
LCB: Umtiti 40 % Lenglet 60 %
RCB: Pique 65-70 % De ligt 30 %
All players would be fine with that.
The season after that, and Piques last one:
Pique 65 % De ligt 35 %
Lenglet 50 % Umtiti 50 %.
The season after that
LCB: Lenglet 70 % Titi 30 %
RCB: Ligt 65 % Titi 35 %
If a player gets 65-70% of the playing time, thats quiet a lot.
Todibo Shit mintues.
And thats only if Titis won't get injured, lenglet probably won't, he is unbreakable steal. Maybe Titi will only be ready to play games 70 % of the season, and 0,7*0,7 = 0,49 game time. 1,51 left. Lenglet plays 0,7, Ligt plays 0,7 and todibo 0,11 as a Cb.
If titi will be a medium injury prone player = he would be fine staying as a close third choice, also due to his different profile meaning he can still be a starter in big games if manager wants ball playing CB.
If he is vermaelen he would be fine being a 3/4 choice.
I really don't see reason to get rid off Pique, especially since his wage/performance is pretty low imo, and we won't get any money if we sell him. Because he would then go to the states. I really disagree with you on selling Pique. I would rather take the gamble and sell Umtiti for 70m then. (if titi won't accept, but i think he will)
